Really surprised that they put the pool on the ground level. For a high rise with a view like that, I would have figured it would have a swanky deck pool like the other buildings in VP. Residents won't like that the building will block the sun every summer afternoon :) Looks like Richardson Bike Mar...

That's disappointing to hear about Skyhouse lowering rents, but I've always felt Victory Park has been overpriced for quite a while. The residential buildings are definitely super nice, but the district is severely lacking, yet they want to charge prices that are comparable (and sometimes more) tha...

Parking there is atrocious during peak shopping, especially now that Tom Thumb is there. They should have built a garage instead of that tiny surface lot, and the garage across the way that's attached to the office buildings are not convenient and I do not even think shoppers are allowed to park the...

This is lame. The hall of fame should be in Columbus. There's no history for the sport in Frisco. This should go somewhere where the community has a passion for the game. Of all the places in the USA, where this could've gone ....IT'S NOT FRISCO,TX. Columbus may be passionate about their soccer tea...

There's quite a few electrical contractor vehicles parked out front of the building today. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and thinking they're doing work inside to keep the building from falling into disrepair.

A somewhat similar example to Love Field would be Chicago Midway (coincidentally another fortress hub for SWA). Very dense area using less surface area with only Cicero Ave being the main way in and out of the airport. Hell it's so tightly packed the TSA checkpoint is on a bridge over the 6 lane roa...

You count every single person coming through the door of Northpark and ask where they are from, there's a pretty good chance they won't say "Dallas", so it will obviously have a higher number than Sixth Floor Museum. I just wouldn't call them tourists either, because they could just be com...

Blue Sushi's website says they open on Halloween. Got a $10 off coupon in the mail from them and walked by yesterday and the interior looks fantastic. Cafe Express still has some work to be done inside before it opens it looked like.

I can't even remember the last time I saw someone checking tickets on a train. The honor system only works if it is policed heavily otherwise we need to gate up the whole system and if caught without a ticket the penalty is way higher. I have only seen them check tickets in the Cityplace Station, a...

It's funny that the whole project in that picture is 6 or 7 floors. The original description of this project was for a 6 floor section and a 10 floor section. It will be nice to see something replace those aging condos. It's only a matter of time before something replaces the Carlisle Apartments as...

No way SWA will fly to Hawaii from anywhere except from California, at least in the near term with the fleet and Love Field gate constraints. They were going to make some announcements a few weeks ago, but the hurricanes delayed it (I work in the ops center).

Walked down Lamar yesterday. Pretty surprised to see that they're building a 7/11 on the corner of Lamar & Powhattan right next door to the South Side Flats apartments and across from Gilley's. Wonder if it's a full gas station 7/11 or just a convenience store...Either way, while nice that resid...

I hope they add stations too. The bikes are randomly strewn about now and to be honest it looks really tacky. From corners of intersections to being placed in the middle of sidewalks, it has quickly become really obnoxious.

If Highland Park residents had a fit over The Katy being 7 stories right along the Katy Trail, I cannot imagine the fight they will put up against the high rise in that video. I personally would love it. It would be cool if they match the brickwork/style with The Armstrong that was just built a bloc...

Per the post on Anet, think central terminal like PHX or IAH with long linear concourses on either side. Think Delta's DTW McNamara terminal. That almost one mile concourse has like 64 gates. So two of those gets you 128 gates right there. Again, the median of International Parkway is more than wid...

I think AA is looking for some deal with DFW for Terminal F and/or Terminal C. The airport just spent over a billion dollars renovating A, B, and E. The logistics required to bulldoze all 5 terminals to build one GIANT terminal that has the same amount or more gates (DFW has 165 currently, PHX has 1...

Looks like the apartment building will be called Ardan West Village: https://gff.com/view/ardan-west-village/ Edit to also add walkthrough of Canopy rooms and a little flyby video they uploaded to vimeo: https://vimeo.com/206412709?from=outro-embed https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=EojkkcqwAiA Found...

Can't get past the paywall, but to me it sounds like a literal bridge to nowhere and a waste of money unless they have someone seriously interested in developing the sites on both sides of 114. That area is totally barren of people and buildings right now and this bridge could quickly become an emba...

I think that part of the 30 is so messed up that no matter where that connection is it'll be a back up. I did travel from northbound 35 to Woodall Rogers yesterday at 4:45p and it was a amazingly easy and traffic free. Going from westbound 30 to southbound 35 was also relatively pain-free as well, b...

Not the best quality photo, but here's another view of the Cityplace Tower lights: https://fwkpig-bn1305.files.1drv.com/y4meq4mEnWqs7mcfKQ06lLVWSCd7fQjaYSVKifU6-mTORrMOyK4DikKOnCKuY8fBGzk-UaYROrvKeY1EeoQAmfoCyH_ZJ8YexHVGMyEK3T3QP6hDDDdzrVAsTkw45QeQHmTrbS2hypB5iGJxz3YS3_JGrHqXFDT3wMlrR1fZKvTN7sQvsERe...

The shorter crane is being dismantled today. https://fmlbig-bn1305.files.1drv.com/y4mNQrKVooFZ_Gnr04mOGg046E1eIGvsOG97mODkghIbFPMvZiWgn9l-Fau10kNR8DeG7e11jlPZs1MlBQtgR7As3RV9Dg5kBQ2gxmqVbD33IAV6SC_Em7NO_FDMmICU411Gqr8-UMYc_dUeW4t_DPyaBGTCExkhPNYBTAb3GkjRzTvrk4Ik7DBXIdpGrMn42FPf4KIl7LJMHaBCt5YrqVMXA?...

I'd imagine the types of people who commute and want to park in a parking garage are more likely to visit the park on a weekend anyway. I think these are primarily the people that are from Plano/Frisco/etc who come from areas where immediate parking is just assumed instead of the Dallas residents t...

Saw 2 bikes randomly sitting on the side of the Katy Trail last night, both in very conspicuous areas and it was hard to tell if people were leaving them there because they were using it or they were put there for cheap advertising. They weren't attached to any bike rack, just parked to the side jus...

Looks like the cheapest option is a studio for $1,575/mo, and the next level up is $1,955/mo. Eesh, is that really standard for these new apartment buildings in Uptown these days? Not only that, but that's just to live in the midrise. If you want to live in the tower it starts at $2,150/mo for a 75...

I agree now that this is not the hotel site or project. We should soon know what it is. A rent-a-fence is now erected around the lot but there no new signage showing what is coming. Looks like they are building a condo building on that lot. Be interesting to see how tall it is. Crescent Collections...

Entities tasked with creating a favorable business climate in North Texas cannot allow the global reach of a dual alliance hub slip away. To compete with San Francisco, Sydney, Toronto, Zurich and raise the game to Chicago, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Milan, Singapore, the big airport cannot...

DFW has 3 Cat III approaches while DEN has 4 Cat III approaches (approach required in dense fog). That likely contributes to the ~54 difference in capacity in instrument conditions on page 12 of the linked PDF above. Throw in the fact that DFW has to fight with DAL for airspace while DEN is essentia...

I live across the street from this. The black fence posts only surround the parking lot and not the entire building. Curious if they're trying to keep people from parking in there/cutting across the lot or have had problems with attempted break ins. For awhile the parking lot lights weren't turning ...
